In the coastal cliffs of Newfoundland, the Northern Gannets unveil a captivating spectacle during their breeding season, focusing their energies on courtship rituals and mate selection ceremonies.
Adorned in their pristine white plumage and distinctive yellowish heads, Northern Gannets engage in elaborate courtship displays, showcasing their commitment and affinity for one another against the rugged maritime landscape. Witness the intricate dance of affection and connection as pairs reaffirm their bonds amidst the crashing waves and salty breeze.
Despite spending the majority of their lives navigating the open seas, puffins make a striking appearance on land during the breeding season, creating a spectacle against the rugged backdrop of the North Atlantic.
Atlantic Puffins, also known as “clowns of the sea,” converge on coastal cliffs during this period for their annual nesting rituals. Witness these skilled aviators as they return to land, showcasing their vibrant beaks and distinctive markings. The coastal cliffs transform into bustling colonies, revealing the intricate social dynamics and behaviors of these charismatic birds.
As expert navigators of both air and water, puffins exhibit remarkable agility during their time on land. Capture the comical expressions, vibrant plumage, and tender interactions as puffins navigate the cliffs with precision and grace.
Our Puffin Photography Tour offers an immersive experience, allowing photographers to seize moments that tell the captivating story of these seabirds during their short but significant sojourn on land.
PLEASE NOTE: If you are expecting to capture close up portraits of the Puffins, this workshop may not be for you. We cannot control where the Puffins land. Occasionally they will land on our side of the cliff which can provide an opportunity to photograph them up close, but we cannot guarantee this interaction. We will be focused on getting creative shots of the Puffins on the cliffs and in flight.
Transportation is not included in the workshop fee. Participants are responsible for arranging their own transportation, each day, there will be a meeting spot and time depending on the weather and recent sightings in the region.
Note: We strongly recommend not booking a flight home on July 8th. Instead, schedule your departure for the following day or later.
Meals: Meals are not included. All hotels will have a kitchen. We will take you to the grocery store and visit restaurants during the trip.
